Examples of random album covers


The name of this first band is KOMA. The wikipedia site I landed on was actually for Koma, Burkina Faso (a city inBurkina Faso, Africa), but I used the name KOMA on its own. For me it became a play on spelling the word Comawith a “K” which seemed like an appropriate name and spelling for a hard, edgy rock band, similar to Motley Crueor Krokus (note the K spelling). The title is “Unless there are three other people” which is c ompletely random and the image is a crocheted sad looking apple with a scar and a worm digging into it, which somehow seemed perfectand suggested cute and wholesome (crochet/embroidery, a wholesome craft) gone awry.
I chose an edgy font with a crackly look to identify the badn as hard, edgy and slightly angry, and the bold red colour because it implies aggression, passion and blood. I chose all capitals for the band name and skewed it slightly to make it look like it was stamped on a package and also so that it would stand out.
The name of this band is Lift Upgrading Programme and the title of the CD is “The present becomes the past”. The name just seemed like an obscure techno/electonica band that possibly has roots in Germany or Sweden. The title fits right in with the obscurity of the band, sort of abstract and full of meaning yet meaningless at the same time, like the poppy melodic electronic melodies of the music. I chose a very neutral colour to help accentuate the spider and not block out the web (also a great metaphor for the music) and I chose a very modern techno styl font that I thought helped identify the band well as a modern electronic band.
